Senior Video Editor

Overview
MOD BIKES is looking for a highly skilled Senior Video Editor to join our team full-time. We’re searching for someone who understands how to create content that not only looks great, but also performs.

You should be comfortable taking a project from raw footage to polished final deliverable with minimal oversight while maintaining a high creative standard and strong attention to detail.

Experience with CapCut is required, though advanced experience in equivalent professional editing platforms is also highly valued.

If you also have strong photo editing skills - including studio retouching, lifestyle image editing, color correction, and e-commerce image preparation - that is a major plus.
